And I still don't know which one applies best
I would find it more useful under my monitor so I can see where to plug stuff in without neck head and back contortions.
They should have sprung for an RGB frame for that mirror though, if you make something that useless, you could always add some more useless energy consumption and some rare earth minerals by adding LEDs. Kids would love it.
However, for people that actually like the RGBLED tempered glass madness, this isn't actually a bad idea.
2021's fad will be mirrored RGBLED infinity cases.
Nowadays, PC hardware pieces are also status symbols, decorative objects, some are even collector pieces, etc., etc.
But you might be onto a good business idea with those mirrored cases :p
I didn't mind the RGBLED or tempered glass when it was an option on the market. More choice is good and people like different things.
The problem is that we don't have more choice. The reason I hate vanity builds is because that's all that exists now. stupid form-over-function decorative crap has pushed quality down at any given price point because the budget that was previously put towards material quality, practical features, and innovation is now misspent on glass and LEDs. The RGBLED+TG scourge has all but muscled the non-vanity options out of the market; They still exist at the too-cheap-even-for-tempered-glass price point, but actually desirable stuff is either already extinct or on life-support. All of the nice stuff is RGBLED+TG and it's only really in the last 9 months or so that enthusiasts are pushing back against the glass because cases with TG front panels perform abysmally.
I'm fairly sure one can sell pieces of fecal material shaped like RAM sticks and some people will buy it as long as the RGB is sufficiently bright and colorful.
